2 Presentation Outline 1. Nutrition Assessment Counselling and Support (NACS) and define terms 2. Process of strengthening competence of frontline nutrition service providers 3. Strengthening nutrition in pre-service training to align with service delivery and policy priorities 4. Summary
3 1) What is NACS? Client centered nutrition assessment, counseling, and support Focus is to integrating a set of evidence based nutrition interventions into health care delivery Emphasis on effective referral and optimal coordination
4 NACS can be applied Throughout the Lifecycle Pregnan Birt Infancy Childhood Adolescence Adulthood cy h
5 Definition of Terms Nutrition Competence: The ability to apply knowledge and skills to produce a required nutrition outcome. Nutrition Competency standards: The range of skills needed to achieve a desired nutrition outcome or competency at different levels. Frontline Nutrition Workforce: a person or people responsible for direct delivery of nutrition services to individuals or communities on a day-to-day basis.
6 2) Process of Strengthening Competence of Frontline Nutrition Service Providers Malawi Experience
7 Why? 1. Re-establish the national NCST (NACS) services 2. New national guidelines being developed 3. Strengthen quality of care 4. Very few nutrition service providers therefore a need to be focused on trainings and capacity development 5. Various groups of people are delivering nutrition services, hence a need to set minimum standards of delivering care
8 The Process 1. Drafted National Guidelines 2. Defined competencies, standards and verification criteria 3. Designed and conducted a baseline assessment 4. Analyzed results and prioritize gaps to focus on during training, developing job aids and training materials 5. Conducted classroom training sessions 6. Conducted post-training mentoring and coaching (integrated QI) 7. Conducted a post assessment to evaluate change 8. Refined guidelines, training materials, job aids and standards
9 Defining Competencies, Standards and Means of Verifying Step 1: what is a clinician, nurse, health surveillance assistant or expert client/volunteer required to know and do in nutrition? Outlined knowledge and skills needed for the categories of staff, which were used to determine the required nutrition competencies Step 2: Prioritization based on: 1) What should the service providers know and do - bearing in mind task shifting Step 3: Defined competency standards for under each required competence by identifying the minimum set of tasks a service provider needs to be able to undertake in order to perform his/her duties. After defining standards, a verification criteria for each standard was developed.
10 Minumum NCST Competencies and standards Topic Area Competency Standards Nutrition assessment and classification Nutrition counseling and education Nutrition care plans and support Use anthropometry to assess & classify nutritional status Use biochemical methods to assess & classify nutritional status Use clinical methods to assess & classify nutritional status Use dietary methods to assess food intake and respond to nutritional status Use ALIDRAA checklist to counsel a client on nutrition 8 Conduct nutrition education session 1 Manage a client with normal nutritional status 4 Manage a client with moderate malnutrition 4 Manage a client with severe malnutrition without medical complications Derived from the national guidelines Based on what service providers are expected to do Quality of NCST service delivery at the facility level Manage a client with severe malnutrition with medical complications Manage a client who is overweight or obese 4 Monitor and report NCST client and facility data 2 4 Facilitate quality of care even with task shifting
11
12 Baseline - Assessment of Competence Objective structured clinical examinations were used. Service provider observed as they performed various nutrition tasks A few knowledge questions were also asked Establish a baseline level of competence among service providers Identify training needs, availability of job aids, equipment and supplies Findings of the assessment were used to design training materials and job aids
13 Building Competencies Classroom trainings focusing on the gap areas Targeted- modular trainings for the various groups of service providers Post-training mentoring and coaching from the district and national levels Learning sessions to exchange ideas across facilities
14 Quality Improvement Efforts Alongside strengthening competence of nutrition service providers, improvement efforts were ongoing in the same facilities and communities QI teams were developing and testing changes to improve how care is provided to clients
15 Post Assessment of Competence Evaluate change after the capacity building activities The same objective structured clinical examinations were used to assess competence of service providers Service provider mainly observed as they performed various nutrition tasks A few knowledge questions were also asked Findings of the post assessment indicated improvement
16 Comparison of Performance between the Baseline and Post-assessment 100% 97% 90% 85% 89% 80% 70% 73% 71% 72% 73% 71% 69% 60% 50% 44% 50% 54% 52% 40% 35% 30% 27% 20% 10% 0% Use anthropometric methods 4% Use biochemical methods Use clinical methods Use Dietary Methods 5.

18 3) Strengthening Competence of Pre-service Training to align with Service Delivery
19 Why Pre-service? Limited or no nutritionist at forefront of service delivery Nutrition service providers often receive training in service However, a major challenge with in-service training is the high rate of staff attrition, leading to reduced quality of services and the need for frequent and repeated training. Service providers often perceive new skills acquired through in-service training as add-ons to their standard responsibilities Nutrition policies and guidance is frequently changing
20 Process Step 1: Define Core Nutrition Competencies and Standards Step 2: Assess lecturers/tutors competence Step 3: Map current preservice curricula Step 4: Recommend revisions to update to update nutrition in preservice curricula Step 5: Develop standardized resource toolkit for lecturers/tutors Step 6: Improve competencies through training and mentoring 20

23 Example 3 Curricula Mapping Nutrition teaching or reference materials are not always standardised Curricula are often knowledge based with limited nutrition field practice sessions National nutrition policies, guidelines, standards and tools are not always readily available to pre-service institutions
24 4) Summary It is important that capacity building of nutrition frontline service providers is focused, tailored and standardized to expectations Bridging the gap between pre-service and in-service is essential for improved quality of service delivery
